The Ghost of Kyiv, Ukraine's urban legend of a hero ace pilot

Twitter has lit up with the urban legend that is The Ghost of Kyiv, an ace hero pilot that has apparently already downed more than six Russian aircraft. Although there are images and vide of the plane flying in the skies above the city no one seems to know who she or he is.
The pilot who flies a Mig-29 fighter jet is this century’s first ace, a feat that in modern warfare is difficult to achieve with air to air combat not what it used to be. According to reports the “ghost” has downed 2 SU-35 fighters, 1 SU-27, 1 MiG-29 and 2 SU-25 planes.

Reports are coming that a Ukrainian pilot has shot down 6 Russian Aircraft today and might have possibly become the first 21st century fighter ace.

The pilot, known as “the Ghost of Kyiv” and his MiG-29 were seen in numerous videos from today.
